One of our developers would like to replace text (example: [replace this text
with a blank line]) with a blank line, so the entire row is empty as if they
had hit the ENTER key. They need to replace the sample text with a blank
line over 400 times so it would be very useful if they could copy the text
into Word and use the "Find and Replace" feature

In addtion, this user wants to remove the sample text and where the
xxxxxxxxx appear, another row is entered below. So it should look like this
before the change is made and is surrounded by text or code:

[replace this text with a blank line]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

AND AFTER like this:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(blank row below the blank space and the xxxxxxxxxxxx)

Hope this makes sence, it is hard to explain this one :)
 
Use the replace function to replace your sample text with
^p
or
^p plus sufficient spaces to make up for the missing text.
